Vikas Krishan stood a win away from an elusive Olympic medal as the Indian outclassed Turkey's Sipal Onder 3-0 to comfortably advance to the QF's of Men's 75kg middleweight Boxing at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games
The 24-year-old Indian started off with some counter punches in a fast-paced round one in Pavilion 6 at Riocentro, and he carried on the momentum throughout to emerge triumphant.
With 38 seconds to go the Turkish had to take a break to treat his bleeding eye, which reflected Vikas's complete domination of the first round.
The second round was no different as Sipal, a 29-year-old veteran who had a close win over Benny Muziyo of Zambia in his opener, took a defensive stance and tried to keep a distance to avoid Vikas' jabs.
The former Asian Games gold medallist, on the other hand, continued his steady progress and at the same time was cautious enough to thwart Sipal's counter punches
